Chapter 4: Can weapons be strengthened?

Chapter 4: Can weapons be strengthened?

In the early morning, in the square behind the family mountain, hundreds of outer courtyard disciples were practicing sword dancing under the guidance of their coach. From a distance, they looked neat and uniform, with a strong flavor of Shushan Sword Sect.

But when you look closer, you can see that everyone's movements are loose and their limbs are stiff, and it's obvious that everyone is slacking off.

Lin Shan, who arrived late, curled his lips. This was basically no different from the radio gymnastics for primary and secondary school students in his previous life.

The coach is just retired and takes money to do the job, and he doesn't teach seriously. The swordsmanship is just basic swordsmanship. If you expect it to fight the enemy, it's worse than sliding!
What's more, the disciples grew up in the Xiaolin family and have never experienced any fighting and killing, so naturally they have no motivation.

Lin Shan squeezed into his position in the sword practice team and was about to pretend to slack off when he heard his fellow disciples whispering:
A: "Hey, have you heard that Lin Fan from our outer courtyard was admitted to the inner courtyard as an exception last night."

B: "How is that possible! The inner courtyard is full of direct descendants, how can outsiders enter?"

C: "What if I tell you that it was the Second Elder who insisted on adopting Lin Fan as his adopted son and was planning to marry his daughter off?"

B was shocked: "What! The Second Elder's daughter, Lin Shanshan, is my goddess, how can you be so careless?"

C: "It is said that Lin Fan's inheritance is extraordinary, and it is the true inheritance of the Xiantian Grandmaster Ba Dao. Moreover, he has already practiced internal skills before he reached adulthood. In terms of strength, he has already surpassed the inner sect."

A: "It is said that the elders of each clan went crazy fighting for Lin Fan last night."

Ding: "Hiss~ It's so scary!"

A: "The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead!"

B: "Yes, yes, Lin Fan has the potential to be an emperor!"

C: "This child must not be kept."

"Um???"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at that person with an expression that said "something's wrong with you".

C: "Uh, I've been staying up late reading too many novels recently, so don't take it seriously."

Lin Shan also looked over in surprise, only to see that the boy's eye circles were as dark as a national treasure's, and his whole body exuded a sense of weakness, with the appearance of a "young master with a cup of nothing".

At this time, he was begging his people not to spread the news.

Some people who want to take advantage of the situation are secretly calculating, with flickering eyes and no one knows what they are thinking.

……

After the episode, Lin Shan drew out his sword and was about to do some radio gymnastics to stretch his muscles. Suddenly, the transparent panel appeared in front of him again:
【Iron Sword】

Quality: ordinary iron

Introduction: An ordinary sword
Enhancement required: 2 points

……

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that after strengthening the elixir last night, he was thinking about breaking through the acquired realm. Then he kept thinking about how to obtain the ancient rhyme before going to bed, and didn't have the energy to think about anything else.

Now I remembered that since the elixir can be strengthened, other items may not be unable to do so. After all, the gold finger was only activated yesterday, and I still need to explore it slowly.

However, this sword was issued uniformly by the family to all disciples, so you can't expect wholesale goods. This introduction was "ordinary" and perfunctory enough, Lin Shan secretly complained.

"How far can ordinary iron go after being strengthened?
Yesterday's Qi Gathering Pill was just a mediocre one, but after being strengthened by 2 points, it became a Tongmai Pill corresponding to the level of an acquired warrior.

This sword is obviously not good either, and it only needs 2 points to be strengthened. Compared with Tongmai Pills."

Lin Shan remembered the powerful effect of Tongmai Pill last night, which directly pushed himself, a person who had not yet fully gathered Qi, to break through and directly enter the acquired Qi exchange realm.

Then maybe this sword will become a magical weapon in the world?
Cut gold and jade, and shave iron like mud?
Thinking about it, Lin Shan looked at the iron sword in his hand as if he was looking at a peerless divine weapon. In the future, he would become a peerless swordsman in the martial arts world, drinking wine and dancing with swords, and rowing in the middle of the stream. With a swing of the sword, all the figures in front of him fell down, and no one could match him. "But... Isn't this too high-profile?"

Lin Shan hesitated and analyzed the consequences carefully.

"I am just a rookie who has just entered the Qi Exchange Realm. Possessing a divine weapon is likely to attract the covetousness of others. Lin Fan and Deacon Lin were an example last night."

But the difference is that Lin Fan has already trained his internal organs and is about to enter the stage of transformation.

Not only did he inherit the martial arts of a congenitally powerful man, but he also showed unique potential in the Lin family.

Therefore, the top leaders were willing to win him over and train him. Although he was still outstanding in the outer courtyard, there were quite a few direct descendants of the inner courtyard who had entered the acquired Qi exchange realm.

Moreover, as far as he knew, he had never heard of any family elder possessing any magical weapon or treasure.

After traveling through time for ten years, Lin Shan has long seen through this world, where the strong prey on the weak and there are no real rules and regulations.

Big fists are the last word!

Last night, Steward Lin blatantly tried to embezzle Lin Fan's opportunity, but no one in the clan criticized him. Everyone had become accustomed to it.

After a while, when the sun rose over the mountain, the coach shouted for everyone to leave.

Lin Shan suddenly thought, elixirs and weapons can be strengthened, but what about the martial arts secrets?

Do it when you think of it!

Lin Shan, who was in the crowd, put away his sword and was the first one to rush home.

The coach who saw this scene couldn't help but shake his head and sigh that this generation of outer courtyard students are not good enough, each generation is worse than the previous one, and he wonders when they can stand out in front of the direct descendants.

He couldn't help but vaguely recall that he was also an outer sect member when he was young. Even after he had traveled around the world and achieved great success, he still could not be accepted by the main lineage.

The bloodlines of the powerful families are very strict and it is not possible to join them just by working hard, but somehow I thought of Lin Fan from last night.

"Really a lucky kid."

……

Lin Shan hurried back home and picked up the old book that had been read countless times on the bedside table.

Sure enough, the panel arrived as promised:

【Qingfeng Sword Technique】

Quality: Not good
Introduction: Basic sword moves, not much practical use, for viewing only, with slight physical fitness effect.

Enhancement required: 2 points

……

Ah! I knew that this crappy sword technique was useless! You wasted ten years of my mornings. I could have used them to sleep!
Lin Shan angrily threw the sword manual on the ground and replaced it with a second one.

【Songhe Jue】

Quality: Acquired Skills

Introduction: The Lin family's unique internal skills, with its own true qi and slightly low lethality, have a healing effect, and can slightly prolong life after being practiced, and can be cultivated to the highest level of acquired perfection.

Enhancement required: 4 points
